Terrey Hills Tavern

I was at the tav Friday night at 6:30pm, drinking my coke zero and was checked for ID. Now, i'm 29years old and I look it but unfortunately I couldn't produce my ID (left it at home on the bench).My friend was able to produce her ID(she's 29) and we explained to the security person that we were only having dinner and NOT drinking alcohol at all. He then told me that I have to leave the premises! I argued that there were kids everywhere and he said becuase they were with a guardian that it was ok, my response being "well assuming i'm 17 years old then my 29 year old friend here can be my guardian" which he responded that there must be a generaltional gap between a person and thier guardian. On our way out the other security person came over and we went through the same thing, that it's against the law to have someone on the premises without ID, even though i was NOT drinking and with someone that is 29.I have been coming to the tavern since before the refurb as a kid and for the past 6 years have had "Tav Wednesdays" spent many many dinners, family lunches, birthdaysand Christmas parties etc here and as I said to security, i won't be coming back.This used to be a local but it's lost it's charm. So dissappointing (and infuriating).

We went on a Sunday for lunch and were fascinated! Lots of places to sit... indoors, under a verandah outside and an outside courtyard area. There is a fire in the inside bar area. We managed to get the last table under the verandah outside without booking. There were a few inside but it was noisier.Golden Ridge farm had some animals for the kids and there was an indoor play area.Despite there being 500, yes, five hundred people, the service was efficient and we got a full meal faster than we had at a cafe where there were about 12 people! It did not feel crowded even with lots of people. There were eight chefs in the kitchen and it's obviously a well-oiled machine.You queue for meals on one side and drinks on the other and there is a faster queue for coffee and dessert. Would go back maybe on a sunny weekday for a different experience.

After a couple of hours at the driving range just down the road, a bite of lunch was definitely needed. We were driving to one of the garden shops where we'd had a decent meal in the past, but decided to give the Tavern a try.Very glad that we did! First impressions good; a large room but clean and quite well-lit with a fairly modern décor. Drinks from a friendly barman, who was quick to warn that the large glass of wine was over 2 standard drinks, so may not be a great idea for the driver. Very responsible service of alcohol indeed! The fisherman's basket we had was excellent. A couple of pieces of well-battered flathead, some really tender calamari, potato scallops, breaded crab claws and very nicely cooked chips. Good value, too.All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, no pretensions.Worth a return trip

We had a very large table of family to farewell my mother who had just passed.What a great place to gather, eat some excellent food and enjoy a very cold Aussie beer!A very friendly venue, a variety of places to sit, gamble, tv or just as we did, swap seats as we drank and ate and caught upas a family.

I ordered off the Mexican menu, and the rest of the group ordered at the bistro. We all had great meals at reasonable prices. They are ready at different times, but that wasn't a problem. This place is popular every night of the week.
